At this years Trail Jamboree coordinated with the Thrusday Nite Ice Cream Social. We held a food drive to help support those who live in the Chinook Pass area. We pulled in appox 150lbs of canned and dried box food. We also recieved $130 wich was to be donated to the Walker Family (they lost everything in a house fire tuesday before the Jamboree) (they later declined the donations and the money went to the Fire District).

Anyway we got the food to the foodbank at the Nile Community Church and recieved a "Thank You Card" from the Lions Club who manage the foodbank.

I would like to "Thank" Dan and Tammy Rheaume of Raynproof Roofing for sponsoring the Ice Cream Social. We ate 18 gallons of ice cream, 350 Oreos and 200 Brownie Bites.

I would also like to "Thank" Pam Remely for roundin up the kids who served us all. "Thanks Kids" (names unknown to me).

Special thanks to The Rainier RidgeRams for the berries for the topping(s)!!!!!
Chocolate ice cream with strawberries really IS yummy!
